SOLIKE DETERGENT AND THE MANUFACTURE THEREQF.

To allnwhom it may concern."

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM Farminnunrnn, a subject of the King ofEngland, residing at London, in England, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Soaplike Detergents and the Manufacture Thereof,of which the following is a specification.

This invention is for improvements in or relating to soap-likedetergents and the manufacture thereof by the boiling process withseparation of glycerin, and has for its ob ject to produce a goodquality soap-like substance or soap-stock (that is the same. sub stancewhen in the condition in-which a true soap is known as soap-stocklfromthe lyes which have been separated from the soapmixture during theordinary process of manufacture and contain the glycerin as usual.

According to this invention, the sep arated lyes (or the mixture of lyesand curds iii) which latter consists of particles of soap contained inthe lyes) has added to it when ata temperature of between 80 to 90 (3.,ground maize-cones in the proportion of approximately 15% by weight ofthe lyes or the lyes estimated to be contained in the mixture.

Preferably after adding the ground maizecones the temperature of themixture is raised to boiling-point and when cooled it sets to a jellywhich is found to possess all the properties of a good water-solublesoap.

Maize-cones are a form of finely ground maize well known in England, themaize being ground into hygroscopic cones so that the ground materialfeels granular.

If desired, about 15% by weight of chinaclay can be added in addition,to the ground maizerones, while the lyes or soap mixture is at 80 to 90C., and when this is done, the mixture when cooled has the consistencyof a thick white cream and still possesses many of the useful propertiesfound in what is popularly known as a good water-soluble soap.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent isp 1. The process of manufacturing a soaplike detergent or soap-stockfrom lyes such as commonly result from the boiling process withseparation of gylcerinin the manufacture of soap, consisting in addingto the lyes when at a temperature of between 80 to 90 C. with thegylcerin therein, ground maize- Specification of Letters latent.
